Things ended rather badly for Mussolini & his cohorts, who were first shot, then hung up & stoned.

1973
President Nixon & Watergate.
In a speech broadcast to the American people tonight he vowed to get to the bottom of the matter, saying: "There will be no whitewash at the Whitehouse."
There followed one of the most intriguing & fascinating news stories ever, as he prevaricated, bluffed, huffed & puffed, sacking the very investigators he had appointed & then, eventually, with a gun held to his head, resigned.
The backstory was nothing short of incredible, as were his attempts to cover up the whole thing.
He was eventually undone in the most bizarre way. He had installed a recording system in his White House Office, to record every convo he ever had in there.
He then ordered Rose, his long-serving & loyal Secretary, to erase large parts of the tape, & she was forced to testify to Congress.
A great, great, story, & a very sad one in some ways.

RAF bombs Port Stanley airfield. An incredible feat, with the bombers being refuelled 17 times in flight. The bombing was not a success, but was deemed to be in propaganda at the time.

1994
On the darkest weekend F1 has ever experienced, Ayrton Senna was killed at Imola.
We watched it all on TV, barely able to comprehend what we were seeing, but we knew he had been killed.
Frank Williams, effectively, had to flee the country, for fear of being arrested & charged with manslaughter.
Only 2 days earlier, in practice for the same race, Roland Ratzenberger was also killed.
As a result of that dreadful weekend, safety standards were improved, & not a single fatality has since occurred to a driver during a F1 race, which, it itself, must be a miracle.

1952
The first ever commercial jet airliner entered service, the De Havilland Comet.
A year later, the first of several crashes occurred, & it had to be withdrawn & modified.
Eventually it re-entered service, & was still in commercial use up to around 1990, & it's Military variant, the Nimrod, continued flying with the RAF until only a few years ago.
The original Comet was built, remarkably, in Hatfield, Herts, of all places.
